I'm pretty sure he is already signed on as an athlete for Canadian Tire.

which is why this might actually be really clever by the Leafs.

They're not brokering a new endorsement deal(against the CBA)... they're "Just talking" with the people who have an existing endorsement deal(50 shades of sketchy gray)

FYI:

Love this, if true, Canadian Tire would be an ideal suitor to pay up any extra coin needed to close the deal. They could have a Stamkos hockey section in every store.

I love how you're not me, but you are me! Did you know we can even edit each other's posts?

I feel that this will lead to some "clumsy atoning" in the future...

He's so good at making friends.

Plus he took Juolevi at 5

its a fine line to walk but with the $ and brain power involved you gotta expect they go about things the right way.

Getting worried

No need for that...

until they find out he is 5'6"
- Symba007

So the Habs will sign him?

Ohhhh poop son!!

I thought brokering endorsement deals was forbidden by the CBA? I guess the Cdn Tire execs just happened to be there at the same time with a big 'what if endorsement proposal'

Taken over from Toews

Steven Stamkos gets up every morning and takes a walk to his favourite taco truck. The man working the cash sees him and calls him by name. He orders the same thing every time... tacos.

Could this be the league approved endorsement offer Bob McCown tweeted about?

I'm almost more excited about the whining from other fanbases as actually getting the player..... almost.

edit: it's already happening from the Buffalo trolls in the Augello thread

Close. It's a Macedonian butcher in St. Lawrence market. The legend goes that Stamkos worked there as a teenager. One day he accidentally cut himself and blue blood came out.

You know what making love in a canoe and American beer have in common don't you?




They are both (frank)ing close to water.

How about the whining if he doesn't sign in Toronto?

As I said in Jennifer Cutler's blog, I'm scared some of you guys have a stroke if he ends up in Montreal.

The weird thing is this could have huge repercussions across North American sports.

All leagues have some form of salary cap.

if he ends up in Detroit il be buying some crazy bread and throwing it on the ice when Leafs score.

damn squids.

yep have to be very careful, im sure they are doing all they can to stay within the rules so they don't get nailed for anything after all this.

Don't worry bout us! We'll suddenly all agree that whichever team signed him to whichever contract will seriously regret it after 3 years.... and Matthews.
